At 3-1 the Bolton fans were chuckling to themselves with a rendition of "Johnny, Johnny Stones" to the tune of "Daddy Cool" by Boney M. At 5-1, they were singing in the rain. It's good to know that the dying embers of hostility still exist for them. For us it was an opportunity to show [...]
Morning folks - here we are at another match day and this time we kick off our League Cup campaign - a home tie against Bolton Wanderers and, I think the key question all of us want answered for this evening's game is: How many first team players are going to be rested tonight? Because [...]
Morning folks, how we all doing this Tuesday? A lot better than 115 Charges FC, it appears, as they now have the utterly scandalous situation of playing Watford this evening at home, just 48 hours after playing us (which they were at home) on Sunday, as well as having played Inter (which was at home) [...]
That was a pretty miserable night last night, if truth be told. I made the schlep all the way to the other side of London, to that soulless bowl of a stadium, having had to virtually sprint at every stage coming from West London as I had an over-running work event that I had to [...]
Before I talk about the game tonight, a word on FIFA, the most corrupt organisation I have ever seen, who yesterday confirmed that Saudi Arabia had won the rights to host the 2034 World Cup after nobody else bid for it. Nobody. Really. So one of the most prestigious tournaments on the planet, that generates [...]
Given that Arsenal played on Saturday, I did something I don't always normally do, in watching the other kick offs that were on Sky Sports yesterday. Usually when Arsenal aren't on, I'll find something else to do with The Management and as a result I'm not usually by a TV, but yesterday I was hanging [...]
What a way to start off a day - with bloody COVID. Well, at least Arsenal are away this weekend and so there is at least that up side that I'm not going to miss going to a game this weekend. It's scuppers a few socialising plans I have but such is life. I move [...]
Morning folks, how we all doing? Feeling gravy? So...this week is a week for finding out about some of our opponents in some of the cup competitions we'll be playing midweek between now and the end of the year and last night we got confirmation of the opponents we face in the League Cup at [...]
I only really got in to football at the age of seven/eight and with a mother and father not in to it (Dad was always more of a golf and cricket man to a lesser extent), I was late to the obsession compared to some of my school mates. So by the time Anfield 89 [...]
Sigh. Double sigh. That's it for our domestic cup campaigns and we find ourselves out of them both within the space of two weeks. It is frustrating, but for some reason, I am reeling even more than I thought I would this morning. I think it is because in my mind I'd built up this [...]
